This place was highly recommended by a friend, but when we went we were very disappointed with the food, the food was below standards and expectations, the appetizers were not wow either, the quantities were very stingy and the price was beyond expectations. The crowd were very decent and upper scale but i wonder why people go to such a... More

I did expect to pay an expensive tab when we went about 2 weeks ago; but I always insist to have a minimum value for money, more or less Firstly I was horrified by the service or the lack of it; with badly trained staff who did not seem to know basic restaurent etiquette - poring wine like beer....having to...

We enjoyed dinner but not near as much as we enjoyed Sur Balik the previous night. Park Fora had an inferior setting with comparable food at a higher price.

good food, strange way of calculating price of side dishes (you order one fava, one red pepper plate for two persons, they charge separately for each slice of fava and each pepper the price they state for the dish). Overall bill exceeding the price for a better restaurant in Brussels. typically the place you visit once in your life

Good food but overpriced by double. Also, while the inside is non smoking, the ventilation system somehow sucks all of the smoke from the smoking porch inside so you are inundated by cigarette smoke. Avoid this place.

Beautiful restaurant with a great view of bridge and water. Wonderful selection of fresh seafood on display to choose from. Cold appetizers were presented at the table to choose from. We chose four to share-- all very good. Hot appetizers very good also. Grilled prawns were superb. Main course of whole grilled red snapper was presented on a beautiful platter... More

Park Fora, on the edge of the Boshporus, is a good fish restaurant. They start off with a good array of mezzes and some seafood starters. Next comes seabass, seabrim and other seafood prepared in a variety of ways. It is very expensive for an old fashioned setting though.
